About this event
The 2026 Golden Mount Temple Fair runs from 17 to 29 November 2026, as reported by Time Out Thailand. It opens with a procession carrying a long red cloth up the 344 steps of the artificial hill to wrap the bell shaped chedi that holds a Buddha relic. Below, the temple grounds fill with food stalls, traditional games and fairground rides, and the fair period takes in Loy Krathong night on 24 November. The dates come from press reporting; no Tourism Authority of Thailand, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration or temple listing confirming them had been published when checked on 27 October 2026, so they are unconfirmed.
